You know, i bitch a lot about iTunes being so late launching up here but when I look at things like this, I realize that just *maybe* they want to launch with a library that doesn't look like a 12-year-old's VHS collection left at the bottom of a school locker.

There's an official Xbox.com one available through Major Nelson's site. It's complete bullshit. And as mentioned in a thread over at Ars Technica's forums, I'm probably not going to be buying anything from the Marketplace until the points situation gets a huge adjustment.

That's like $10 + taxes. Brutal. It gets even better when you think about purchasing points directly from Marketplace. You can't actually buy exactly 660 points (even if you wanted to) so you're left with going for the next option of 1000 points (which is $15ish). Horrid. Microsoft is fucking this one up big time.
